Default Wet shave or electric
Right I'm starting to debate whether to change over from wet to electric shaving.

Which is better [currently use Fusion thingy which is good].

I've always used electric. I tried wet shaving on holiday last year and found it painfully scratchy - I was raw for days afterwards.

For a decent shave go wet. Electric is fine for a quick tidy up in the evening before going out.

I suppose the old rechargable used in the car on the commute to work is a criminal offence now?

Especially if you are trying to talk on the phone at the same time

Electric if fine for the ladies.

Wet shave is the only way to get a close shave for men with real hair

Wet shave.

An electric shave always seemed to leave me feeling like I needed a shave; only used it a handful of times, then gave up on it.

i bought a wet electric shaver
Philips Nivea Moisturizing Rotary Shaving System - HS8060 Shaver

half price on amazon and is genuinely brilliant!
i have sensitive skin,it glides over my face, whizzes the stubble away and you can shave in the shower
top marks

I remember seeing loads of spent brain donors shaving on their way into work in years gone by... Thankfully, Darwins theory has seen to them it seems

Tend to do the same, but clean shaved is a must at least every 2 weeks... cant beat that stinging skin burning feeling
